Hello,
I would like to ask if you would be willing to help me in the problem I
am experiencing.
I have notebook toshiba tecra M6 with Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG
wifi card, that is working normally in windows.
I installed back-track 4 pre final linux on usb drive and followed the
guide here (using root account):
http://forums.remote-exploit.-org/backtrack-4-working--hardware/27565-bt
4-pre-final--driver-iwl3945-injection--solved.html#post157700
I have installed lastest firmware for my wifi
(iwlwifi-3945-ucode-15.32.2.9) and compat-wireless-2.6.32-rc4 drivers.
However I am experiencing problems with loading drivers and receive
error: iwl3945 0000:02:00.0: Failed to register hw (error -17)
Can you please provide any help with what this error means?
Please see my dmseg in attachment.

This problem showed up before when a user was testing from
compat-wireless. Moving to wireless-testing resolved the issue. The
thread is at

Hi,
there is no need to sent several times the same email to this mailing-list.
As I suggested to you on IRC, read the document "How To Ask Questions
The Smart Way", especially "Use meaningful, specific subject headers"
[1].
To be precise:
An empty subject line or none-saying one is not helpful.
Furthermore, a (significant) subject line is often used for
referencing (for bug-reports or on other mailing-lists).
Kind Regards,
- Sedat -

Ditto both of the comments (lack of meaningful subject, and multiple postings).
Error 17 is "File Exists" apparently - I am not the author of the said
relevant code, and I am just writing of my understanding of it -
Feel free to have a go yourself - it is at net/mac80211/main.c .
